How about if we kill THIS kind of welfare first?

From Senator Bernie Sanders (Indep., VT) Facebook page: "From '08-'10 General Electric made $10.46 billion in US profits, paid $0 in federal taxes, received $4.7 million in tax rebates, spent $84.35 million on lobbying and laid off 4,168 employees. Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric, is also the head of President Obama's 'Jobs Council'". Source: http://publicampaign.org/sites/default/files/ReportTaxDodgerLobbyingDec6Final_rev.pdf
